Recorded at Horizon studios, Rhythm Studios and Cabin Studios. The band were often described as a heavier Duran Duran and we're known for their flamboyant stage image and frequent guitar solos! !!!!!!

Worked with Paul Johnson and also Paul Samson (Editor's note - Not sure if they mean Paul Sampson  - with a P - who was in the Reluctant Stereotypes and produced The Primitives or the other Coventry musician with no P in his name!)

Band split after final gig at Coventry Polytechnic in 1987 supporting Zigue Zigue Sputnik.

Pete Chambers from Godiva Rocks 2004 .....

"a real product of the 80's with King and Duran Duran overtones,played the General Wolfe loads of times. Virgin Dancer and Too late were two of their best songs.Mainman martin Keatman wrote books about Psychic Phenomena. They appeared on Paul Johnson's Rhythm Method compilation album with the track Peace of Mind. They also played Covaid."

Currently just a home studio band with a YouTube presence releasing updated versions of old Sheer Pride demo material.......cheers
